Module 1 How to learn English
Unit 1
Let’s
try to speak English as much as possible.
Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today,
we’re
going to talk about good ways to learn Englis
h. Ready? Who has some advice?
Lingling: We should always speak English in class.
Ms James: Good!
Let’s
try to speak English as much as possible.
Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?
Ms James:
That’s
a good idea. And
don’t
forget to write down the correct answers next to the mi
stakes. What else?
Lingling:
It’s
a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud every day.
Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio?
Lingling: Yes,
that’s
good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new word. Ms James
: You
don’t
need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas.

Daming:
That’s
the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get to know a lot about
the world through reading.
Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why
don’t
we try to find some English pen friends?
We can write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.

Unit 2 You should smile at her!
Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.
Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questio
ns.
The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote,
“
I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little. W
hat can I
do?”

Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English! Watch and listen several
times, and guess the meaning of the new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also
advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.
The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote,
“Our
school has a teacher
from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I
do?”

You can say,
“Hello!
How are
you?”

“Do
you like
China?”
These are good ways to start a conver
sation. And before you begin, you should smile at her! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.
The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote,
“I
write down new words,
but I forget them quickly. How can I remember
them?”

Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on p
ieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use t
hem.


Module 2 My home town and my country

Unit 1
It’s
taller than many other buildings.
Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekend?
Daming: Pretty good! I went to Shenzhen.
Tony:
Where’s
Shenzhen?
Daming: Well,
it’s
on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, bu
t today
it’s
a very big city.

Tony: So
it’s
a newer city than Hong Kong?
Daming: Yes,
it’s
a newer city. In fact, it only became important in the
’s
getting bigger a
nd busier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong,
I’m
sure.
Tony:
What’s
the population of Shenzhen?
Daming:
It’s
over ten million, I think.
That’s
larger than the population of many other cities in C
hina. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think
it’s
a beautiful city.
Tony:
I’d
like to go to there one day.
Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower.
It’s
taller than many other buildings in Shenzhen
.



Unit 2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east of England.
Cambridge, London and England
By Tony Smith
I come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and ha
s a population of about 120,000. My home is especially famous for its university. Many famous
people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings a
nd churches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.
Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the
River Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier tha
n Cambridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and T
ower Bridge.
England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and b
eaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in
the north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice h
ow green the countryside is.
It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of th
e year, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.





Module 3

Sports
Unit 1 Nothing is more exciting than playing tennis.
Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on TV
.
Tony: OK.
What’s
the score?
Daming: Spain scored a minute ago.
Tony: Wow!
That’s
fast!
Daming:
That’s
right. Last week the match on TV was so boring because no one scored at all. So
this
week’s
match is already more exciting.
Betty:
What’s
the matter with you, Tony? You look tired.
Tony:
I’m
really tired after last
night’
s tennis match. And I hurt my knee.
Daming:
That’s
too bad! Sit down and watch the match.
It’s
safer than playing tennis.
Betty: Yes, watching is not sure about that. Nothing is more relaxing too!
Tony: Well,
I’m
not sure about that. Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis.
Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV
, right?
Tony: Yes, but
that’s
because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the games.
Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at that!
Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!
Daming: Never mind.
There’s
still plenty of time for them to score.



Unit2 This year we practice more carefully.
Training hard
By Li Daming
It is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for lessons, b
ut to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against anothe
r school next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so
that we have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other
team beat us last year. This year we want to do better.
It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weat
her is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school
practice.
Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year w
e were sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team i
n the final match. What a pity! This year we practise more carefully. That means w
e have a better chance of winning.
The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have
more fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us
on loudly and we feel more confident to win the game.








Module 4 Planes, ships, and trains
Unit1 He lives the farthest from school
Betty: I was late for school today.
Mum: Why? What happened?
Betty: I took the bus. There was a road accident, and the traffic was very heavy. Bu
t nobody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi.
Mum:
It’s
the most comfortable way, but
it’s
also the most expensive.
Betty: Then what about going by bike?
Mum:
That’s
a good choice, but
it’s
a bit dangerous.
There’s
so much traffic.
Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and
it’s
quite safe.
Don’t
worry.
I’ll
b
e carefull.
Mum: How does Tony go to school?
Betty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground.
Mum: And what about Lingling?
Betty: Her home is the closest to school, so she walks.
Mum: How about Daming?
Betty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But
it’s
so crowded! And the traffic is h
eavy.
Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all th
e time.


Unit2 What is the best way to travel?
Question: What is the best way to travel from London to Amsterdam.
I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does the journe
y take and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tell me about the trains
or ships to get there? The more information, the better. Thanks!
Best answer: There are four ways to travel.

A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. W
hen you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually che
aper.

You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most co
mfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you b
ook your hotel. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay o
utside the city centre and travel in by bus or by train.

The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer the co
aches sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. H
owever, it will not cost as much as going by train.


Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have
to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.
Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip.






Module 5 Lao She Teahouse
Unit 1 I wanted to see the Beijing Opera.
Listen and read
Betty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.

to take me there. We drank tea and watched an opera.
Tony: Did you understand the opera?
Betty: No, it was difficult to understand the words. But the actors and actress were
excellent.
Tony: How long did you stay?
Betty: We only planned to watch for an hour, but in the end, we stayed for three h
ours.
Tony: Did you enjoyed it?
Betty: Well, it was interesting---
that’s
the main thing. I hope to understand more n
ext time.
Tony: Do you often go to see Beijing Opera, Lingling?
Lingling: No, I
don’t.
I wanted to take Betty to the teahouse because
it’s
famous.

He’s
especially famous for his play Teahouse.

Unit 1 It allows people to get closer to them.
Listen and read
(Lingling and Betty are leaving the zoo)
Lingling: Did you like the zoo?
Betty: Yes! I saw the pandas at last! But I am more interested to see the pandas in
the Wolong Panda Reserve, because it allows people to get closer to them.
Lingling:
It’s
sad to think of the pandas and other animals in danger.
Betty: We need to protect them better.
Lingling: Yes, Many wild animals
don’t
have a safe place to live, because villages
and farms are growing bigger and are taking away their land and forests.
Betty: Also, often there
isn’t
enough clean water, because
we’ve
made it dirty. I th
ink we all need to help animals live in peace. Look,
there’s
a notice.
Lingling: It
says,“Help!
We want to save animals in danger, and we need your help
.”

Betty: But what can we do?
Lingling: It
says,“Your
money pays to look after the
animals.”That
means we can
give money to help protect the animals.
Betty: Maybe we can raise some money at school.
Let’s
find out what else we can
do to save as many animals as possible.



Unit 2 The WWF is working hard to save them all.
2 Read the passage and match the heading with the paragraphs.
a)

Nature parks for pandas
b) WWF And animals in danger
c) The
panda’s
home
d) An animal in danger
1
Pandas are in danger. There are only about 1,600 pandas living in the wild tod
ay. Zoos and research centres are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do not ha
ve many babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult.
Scientist are doing a lot of research to help pandas produce more babies and help b
aby pandas live.
2
Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each panda nee
ds to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pan
das are losing their home. And there are not many pandas left.
3
In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature par
ks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and there will be more
bamboo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature
parks.
4
The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it
chose the panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants, or any o
ther animals, so the WWF is working hard to save them all.
